Tobacco tax supporters release new television ad in state's most expensive campaign
You can view the ad here:Backers of Proposition 56, which would raise the state's cigarette tax by $2 a pack, released a new television advertisement Tuesday, focusing on tobacco's effects on children. Supporters of the tobacco tax hike include the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the California State PTA, the American Heart Assn. Opponents, chiefly tobacco companies Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds, have contributed $56 million to defeat the measure. The No on 56 campaign unveiled its first television ad last month. 56 is not the most expensive measure so far on November's ballot.
